Merry meet everyone, I come again with another journal question for you all to think about. This one is very easy to answer because what has 2020 actually given us so far? So today's question is what do you want to achieve this year? I added 2020 because its one we could ask again next year and see how different the answer will be. For me I want to survive it. This year has been a nightmare from the virus that came out of nowhere and has changed many of our lives, to my personal problems with health ect. I feel like my personal goal that I would love to achieve is to lose as much weight as I can to make myself feel better but also to help improve my health ect. I would also love to be back at work and this virus to fuck off. I would love to be able to spend more than 5 minutes with my nan. (Dropping her shopping off) I have a goal that my flat will be tidy and I will have the ball rolling on getting rooms done up and sorted but with lock-down still about while I am writing this to some point its very hard to think ahead. I personally want to forget this year ever happened and jump start to 2021 please if thats possible. I know a lot of you are probably feeling the same way and thats completely fine but who wouldn't? This year is a horror show at the moment and we have all lost someone close to use thats connected to this virus. I am scared for all of you, for my friends and family and to everyone in the world because its such a horrid thing thats about at the moment. If I could bubble wrap everyone who I care about and protect them from this I would. So what I personally want to achieve this year is to see 2021 with all my loved ones still with me. I can't control this but its one that I would love to stay I did. I also want to achieve my end of year weight goal because thats more controllable for myself. So what would you like to achieve this year? Let me know in the comments bellow or even message me on instagram @paganvibesonly I would love to hear what you all have planned. I hope you are all staying safe and I will see you all in the next post. Blessed be x PaganVibesOnly x Merry meet everyone, So I thought I would so a post about the amazing magical properties this leaf has. I always have a good supply of this in my herb collection because its so handy to have. This post will only be a small but sweet post because I haven't had the time to cover everything about this herb. I do plan on doing a more in depth version of this post in the future but for now this will get you interested in doing some research yourself :D It's said if you buried this herb in the corner of the northwest of your property then it would bring you favourable winds to your land. This is also used in many different incenses and magical work invoking divination. This is because its very handy in getting the answers for you and bringing them to light. Many use this to aid them in contacting spirits and also enhancing their psychic connections to the other side. You can also add this herb to oil and dress your candles for spell work when doing spell workings on finding the truth. This is also handy if you are using candles in your divination because it will help boost your chances of getting answers. If your wanting to get guidance from the divine then all you have to do is burn some dried leaves from this plant and hopefully the answers will come to you. Like I said before this was only going to be a short but sweet post to get you interested in this herb. I hope you found something useful about this herb today and If you want to request any topics for me to cover then send me a message on instagram @paganvibesonly and I will get back to you as soon as possible. Stay safe everyone and I will see you all in the next post. Blessed be x PaganVibesOnly x Merry meet everyone, Today is another spell chest post with a helpful blessing or spell that can help remove all the negativity that is surrounding your home or work place. I have used this a lot within my home when I feel that we have argued a lot more than normal or when the air just doesn't feel right. This post will be another short but sweet post, with a handy spell to include in your book of shadows for a rainy day. You will have to do this spell at least eight hours before the moment the sun enters Capricorn or cancer and have some salt water somewhere placed on the floor of your home or workplace depending on where you are cleansing. You then focus your intentions on the glass bowl full of salt water and ask it to trap all the negativity within the salt water and out of the place it is in. Then let it rest there for at least eight hours. I normally do this over nighttime so it doesn't get knocked over. Afterwards take it and throw it in to the sea if possible, if you can't then pour it down the drain and pour plenty of clear cold water down after it to take the negativity away from your household. Its a handy blessing you can keep for when needed and I would say keep it in your book of shadows for when it is because its helpful. Anyway thats another short but sweet post done for the today. I hope this post has helped you out a lot and does come in handy in the future. As always you can chat with me on instagram @paganvibesonly, I am only just a click away and always happy to help or chat when I can. Hope you are all staying safe and I will see you all in the next post. Blessed be x PaganVibesOnly x Merry meet everyone, I am here again with another great question you can ask yourself to put in your journal for this week. I am personally writing theses in my journal each week and answering them in more detail than I do in here because some bits should be kept private. That being said today's question is what is one thing you want to manifest for your future self? So for me personally the one thing I would love to manifest for my future self is to be able to have a baby of my own. This will most likely be a common answer for many questions to come in the future. If you read last weeks question you have some idea what I am going through to a point. So here goes. Back in October 2019 I had this horrid scare. I had my normal period which then turned into not normal. I had been trying to get pregnant for a year and a half at this point. Not fully timetable focused but focused while working our busy lives. We had this thought it will happen when it happens but to try anyway. So back to October 2019 were this 3 to 4 week period happened and I was taken to the doctors to get it checked. They gave me tablets to stop the bleeding as it wasn't normal. I did all the tests needed to know what was wrong with me. I remember this one doctor calling me up at 6.30 at night with my results and said to me that I may have a form of cancer on my ovaries. This was 3 weeks before christmas and I died inside. I burst into tears and didn't stop until my partner came home after work. The doctor has also said because of this I may never have children. Fast forward to my first official appointment with my new specialist doctor and she gave me the best news anyone could give me that day. Not the your all clear news but the fact the other doctor fucked up. I did not have cancer at all, instead I have a common hormone problem. I wont say what I have been told I have because I am not ready to talk about that yet but I am working towards it. I was told having a baby will be hard for me because it isn't in balance and they need to work out what has caused this. They said I should lose weight because that my be a big factor which made me cry. My weight has been a big problem for me for years because it happened while I had my very dark period in my life and I haven't been able to lose it. I panicked and thought I am never getting a baby. I was going through tests ect before lock-down happened because I haven't had my period now since the full month of bleeding last year. In fact my last one was December as I had two different big bleeds. I am losing weight even in lock-down and have a focused goal. I am making a great progress so far and will continue to do so because I have my goal. When lock-down ends I will be continuing my treatment and tests and hopefully they can solve my no period problem because thats a big part that needs to work. I didn't plan on going through so much detail in this post but I have gotten people asking me what I danced around with last post and I thought that I am in the right place to talk about some of the aspects I have been dealing with. In the future there may be weeks I don't get to do my posts because of this so its better to mention it now then later. I hope I haven't scared you all off with my over sharing and that I see you all in the next post. I would love to hear what you would like to manifest for your future self too if you want to share. Stay safe everyone and dream big. Blessed be x PaganVibesOnly x Merry meet everyone, So I thought I would do another crystal information post. This is one I had to research a lot about because I didn't know much about this crystal but had some requests for posts about it. I am sure I got this in a box in the past but again I am unsure. So what I found out about this crystal was its a really good stone to have in your collection if you like connecting to higher realms. It is also has a a great vibration that is well known to increase your happiness, joy and your contentment for yourself. This is also a good stone to help with abundance and helps to banish your fears. That means its a great crystal to help sooth your emotions too. If you are big on meditation this is a crystal you would love to have with you as it has a powerful connection within the higher chakras and is well known as a stone of the mystic. This crystal can be very useful for clearing blockages in your path and can also clear blockages in your energy. It is really handy also because it has the unique ability to help you find missing or lost objects. So this is a great crystal to do lost and found spell workings. It's know the energies of this crystal will increase your understanding of all the aspects of the universe and could help you connect and contact ancient civilisations. This crystal seems to develop and strengthen your inner vision and could also give you grounding energies that will help you remain balanced even when there are so many things and events happening within your life at that time. This crystal is also great to have to help release and free spiritual energy patterns that may have become stuck, in turn this will also help protect you when performing energy healing work. I have also read that this crystal can disappear at times on end to go find information for you that it believes you will need. I wonder if that if I do have this crystal its done this?? Thats all the information I found about this crystal. I bet there is 100s of more information you could find yourself but I didn't have much time to spend on this crystal index today. I will mostly look more into this crystal in the future and do an updated version of this. If you know any fun facts about this crystal then let me know on instagram @paganvibesonly and I will happily listen and chat with you all. I hope you have learned something new today like I have and you are all keeping yourselves safe. I will see you all in the next post. Blessed be x PaganVibesOnly x Merry meet everyone, So today's post is going to be another short but sweet post because I have decided to share another great blessing for our sun this time. This is a great one to keep in your book of shadows and is handy around this time of year because the sun is out in full swing blessing us with heat and sunshine. We should all appreciate the power of the sun. The sun is always there we can neither control nor command the sun and his amazing power that he blesses us with. For this blessing you need a little space around you. You can do this either inside of outside but make sure you can see the sun himself. Strike a yoga pose, or lift a burning sage bundle to our golden sun. Say the following: "Praise our sun, Blessed orb of golden light, Which lights our days and warms our nights, Without you we could not be, We honour you with love, respect and humility" Its such a simple blessing but very effective and it also shows how much you honour our sun who is always doing his best to help us. I do hope you use this blessing and you found today's post helpful. If you want to keep updated on all things witchy related thats away from this blog then follow me on instagram @paganvibesonly. I post daily about what I am up to away from the blog. I also post questions and if you just need to chat I am only one click away. I hope you are all staying safe and I will see you all in the next post. Blessed be x PaganVibesOnly x Merry meet everyone, So today's question isn't a question as such as a command. You and I will have to describe our dream life in five words. Now I won't be doing it in five words because it would be the shortest post in history. So I have decided to do five words and explain why for each word. This will also help me work out why each word means that much to my dream life. So my five words are: - Happiness, - Balanced, - Family, - House, - Friendships. So there the five words that describe my dream life, yes there very basic but they all have meaning behind them for myself. Happiness for me means having a full life surrounded by people I love and care about. No drama from family members that are no longer considered as family. Were stress isn't part of my life on a daily bases and that I can wake up and fully let myself be happy. Balanced for me means having enough money to live and save but not too much money that it will change the way I personally live. I want to be able to not worry about money anymore. It's easier said than done at this moment of time but that is one of my life goals to fully work towards. I hate worrying about money and it causes so much hurt within my household. Family for me means having my own children. I personally only want one because for me that would be a blessing. I have been having problems with that side of things since last October and I do feel like its going to take a lot of hard work to get that little baby me and my partner want. It hurts me not being able to become a mum because its all I personally ever wanted. So for me thats a dream life. House for me connects with my word above. I live in a flat at the moment which I own and its perfect for what I need at this moment of time. That being said I would love to own my own house that I could bring up my own family in. A garden for me to work in and connect with mother earth and an attic for my witchy space would be heaven. I can picture having little kids running around my home and that just puts a smile on my face. Friendships for mean is a big thing. I have some amazing friends in my life that accept me for me but I don't have many witchy friends that I can connect with. I have Jemma who is amazing and I love her to bits and if she lived closer I could so she her being my witchy best friend. In my dream life I would probably have her living closer to me. I would also have my own space were others like us could connect. It wouldn't be a coven as such as a tea shop with a witch haha. It's just something that puts a smile on my face thinking about. Anyway thats my five words for my dream life what are yours? Let me know either in the comments bellow or through instagram @paganvibesonly. I love hearing from you all and it would make the world to me if you could up with your own. Anyway I do hope you enjoyed today's post and that you and your family are staying safe. I will see you all in the next post. Blessed be x PaganVibesOnly x Merry meet everyone, I am here again with another fabulous Freya's Cauldron box. This months box like all the past boxes was put together with so much thought and love and you can tell by everything thats included. I am over the moon with the items in this months box and I hope if you got your boxes that you are too. As always I will start with the information sheets included in this months box and then get into the items. Information sheets: - Introduction sheet to this months box, - Information sheet about this months herb, - Information about the crystal items in this box, - Recipe for the lammas feast sheet, - Bee thankful gratitube sheet. Now the information sheets are done with I will go though all the items I got in this months box. The first item I got out of this months box was the sabbat oil candle dressing oil. I love getting these anointing oils because they are such a great way to enhance your focus on the candle you are using. This anointing oil from the information given is a new blend that they have been testing on over the last year with their own magical sabbat rituals and they felt it was a better version of the one they had. They stated in the information that they got great results when they used this anointing oil and that is why its a box exclusive just for us subscribers. The oil smells heavenly and will be a added addition to my ever growing oil collection. The next item out of the box is one we get each month and its their amazing spell candles. I always find theses to be really helpful and the colours that come in theses boxes is always the ones I truly need. This months colours are: white, red, dark green, royal blue, dark purple, dark brown and black. This months herb pot is one I don't have in my collection and was over the moon when I got this herb. The herb I am talking about is the beautiful scented jasmine flower. Now I have read about this herb before and well happy over the fact it will be added to my ever growing collection. I also got a lammas herb blend for the following sabbat at the end of this month. I don't normally use theses because my cats could eat them but I feel like using them this month and trying something new with the herb pots. I will let you know if that works out for me. The crystal in this months box is one I haven't got in my crystal collection which is always a first. This months crystal is a beautiful emerald tumble stone. I will be reading into this crystal more later on and to see what I can use this crystal for. I love building my crystal collection and this box always helps me do just that. The next item was a green aventurine crystal chip bracelet, now I love getting crystal bracelets because this time of year I always wear them when I am not in work. This one draws me in though I will have to read about this crystal and see why I am so drawn to it. The next item is a bee thankful gratitube. Now when I first saw this I was questioning why they included this in this months box but after reading what they put I kinda understand where they are coming from now. They stated "we have so many things in our daily lives to be thankful for and many pass us by without us even noticing them. Everyone of us will have theses little gifts from the universe, we just have to open our minds to see them. A important lesson for us all". What I get from this is writing on a little note about what made me happy that day or that week something I would be thankful for. I love this idea and have seen other witches use jars to do this. I also believe this is connected with this months spell they have included. The next item was the lammas collectable card, which is just beautiful. I love getting theses collectables and they are just amazing. I will be keep this one safe along with the others until my collection is complete and then I will decided what to do with them. I also got a bee thankful notepad which I feel runs alongside the tube above. This is a really cute notepad and I will be keeping theses two together on my altar so when I do feel like being thankful I can add to my tube. Along the same lines as the pad I also got theses beautiful stick pencil set which will also be sat on my altar to be used along side theses other items. The last item and one I am over the moon with is the lammas sabbat altar bowl. This is a beautiful item they have created and one that will be taking centre stage on my altar. Freya's Cauldron has created this item to be a exclusive series of sabbat collectables which means there will more more of theses bowls to come which I can't wait to get in my boxes. These bowls have a space in the centre that is big enough to have herbs or a tea light in which I just love. Overall this months box was amazing and they really did think about everything they could include in this months box. My favourite item will be the lammas altar bowl because its just breath taking but that doesn't mean I don't love any of the other items. They are all amazing and I really am looking forward to next months box now. I hope you are all enjoying my blog posts and staying safe in theses troubling times and I will see you all in the next post. Blessed be all, PaganVibesOnly x Merry meet everyone, So with everything going on in the world outside I thought it would be a perfect time to share a handy little blessing that I do each week when I am having a shower to cleanse myself. This blessing is a handy self care blessing for your soul, it will put you at peace and also remind you of whats important. I have been doing this each week now since lock-down begun and for me it really has helped me focus on what is needed and what I shouldn't focus on. Its probably why I am as focused as I am at the moment getting all the blog related stuff sorted while I do have the time. That being said this is always handy to have in your book of shadows as its handy for those busy weeks were you just need some time free for yourself. When you set out doing this blessing do it in the morning, either when doing a shower or bath. Begin your day by clearing your calendar, reschedule all appointments if you can and grab yourself your favourite CD or playlist that you wish to listen to. Light some blue candles for peace and relaxation in your bathroom and drop some pink rose petals and rose oil into your tub. Now for me I have theses placed premixed into a fabric bag that I tie around the shower head so I can have the same effect because I only have a shower in my flat. Undress and step into your bath or shower and let the water wash all your worries away. Focus on the water covering your body and how peaceful water can be. Once you are ready to leave your bath or shower you can then spend the rest of the day unwinding. Don't make any plans and limit any conversation with others because you want to focus on yourself today. This day is for you to heal, replenish and nurture your mind, body and soul. We need theses more at the moment but its really helped me feel good being stuck inside too. I hope you find this spell helpful and I will always be on instagram @paganvibesonly if you wish to talk or ask any questions. I post daily on there about my life away from the blog and what other witchy aspects I get up to. As always I will see you all in the next blog post, stay safe and don't forget to focus on your self care this week. Blessed be x PaganVibesOnly x Merry meet everyone, So I have decided to start a new mini series of posts that is all about answering questions like the post is named. This is to realise what needs to me done but also what we hold dear that we may not realise at this moment of time. I got this set of universal love affirmations deck with my soul and spirit magazine and it gave me this idea while going through them that they would make great posts. These cards are a bit like journal prompts that I thought would help me connect with you all more but also a way for us to answer theses questions together? I would love to hear your answers either through the comments bellow or through instagram @paganvibesonly. I may even create a post for you to be able to comment on. That being said this post will be longer that the others as they will be a series of short but sweet posts. So what else feed my soul personally? While being on lock-down I have felt a little lost at times. I haven't been able to spend the time I want with my close family because they live away from me. So I have been trying to focus on other aspects that I could make myself feel whole. So I have been getting back into my crafts, things that I put on hold while busy with work because it seemed to never be important. Painting in watercolour is one of the most relaxing but soul healing things I could ever do. This makes me feel happy when I see the final outcome. I have posted one or two on my instagram but I feel happy just spending an hour doing this. Another thing that feeds my soul is working on any aspect of my witchy path. Working in my book of shadows makes me feel complete, working in my tarot journal each morning has made me feel like I have done something worth while. Working on my witchy storage and my altar makes me feel soo happy. I have even decided to redo the whole of my display inside to better work with what I need it to be. Theses things may be simple in its own right but has made me feel so much better being stuck inside my home. Another big one that helps me feed my soul is this blog. Working on posts to put out and focusing on something productive has helped me out so much. I have done so many posts while in lock-down that I am fully backed up for a few months. Its made me feel like I have worked even though I don't get paid doing this blog. This blog is a big feed my soul project because I spend my time working on posts, researching topics and creating theses posts just to put out there for you all. This is the big feed my soul aspect that has been feeding my soul for many years. I love doing theses posts even if I dont get paid which is why I am always so grateful for seeing my views spike up when they do. I love hearing from you all and connecting with other like minded people because it feeds my soul. So now that I have answered this question, I want to hear what feeds your souls. Could be something small to something huge whatever makes you happy while in this lock-down or even this year, I would love to hear what has gotten you through this all. Like I said before you can always contact me on instagram or even through here and I will always get back to you. Need a friendly face to listen to your problems I am here. Hope this post has given you something to think about today and as always stay safe and I will see you all in the next post. Blessed be x PaganVibesOnly x |
